Targets for 0.1.75, wikia, and discord

First of all, I just want to say a big thank you to DesuDemona, lovelesspoison, and Blue999, for setting up and contributing to a wikia for Lilith's Throne!
DesuDemona asked me to mention that it's still in a bit of a rough state at the moment. It's coming along really quickly though!

Secondly, there have been loads of people joining the discord, so thanks to everyone who's jumped on and left feedback!

And lastly, it's time to set out version 0.1.75's targets! The full version of 0.1.75 will be released on May 5th, but there will also be a preview version released on April 28th.

Goals for version 0.1.75:

Add the next stage of the main quest, along with a related sex scene.

Polish sex scenes and NPC interaction scenes.

Fix more bugs!

Work on making the engine more writer friendly. Improving the parsing system, as well as moving the game's Dialogue objects into a data-driven format.

Work on making save games compatible between versions. This may take a while...

Fix the memory leak! This is the major cause of those random crashes some of you have been experiencing, so getting this fixed is a priority. (I should have fixed this ages ago...)

I was just wondering if it was possible to be herm as the main character I've tried looking threw all that's in the build (i think), so either I'm blind or missing it or it's not in yet? Either way, keep up the good work I really enjoyed what's in so far, can't wait to see more.

As James said, you can become a herm through drinking transformation potions. To get a TF potion, you'll need to craft one at the enchanting table (unlocked after you complete the related quest after defeating any enemy).

I'm wondering when you are planning on adding more variety to the attackers gender like traps and herms (I know we have traps for harpies already). On another note with the new TF system in place it might be fun to be able to use the potions on the persistent encounters, although i feel like you were already planning something similar.

Maybe it is a bit late but i really like the crafting system so far especially that the modifiers will be things you can find during quests or while adventuring, but i think there should be a modifier for temporary stat changes and one for permanent ones that is harder to obtain, permanent stat boosts just seem too powerful to be able to stack infinitely without a decent amount of effort put into it.

There already are temporary and permanent attribute changes. Permanent changes cost a lot more essence to craft, and have a max of 1 point per potion. You'd have to grind a lot (or cheat) to get enough ingredients and essence to really start abusing them.

Sorry i was not clear about it but i was aware of the difference between permanent and temporary stat boosts i just feel there is not enough distinction.

As it is its not too hard to farm one enemy to get essence to make the permanent stat boosts and while it is not so easy it feels completely gamebreaking i feel that it should be more meaningful to get the ability to do so.

A small or large quest could add a serious feeling of achievement to being able to permanently boost your stats.

Oh and one extra thing by adding more requirements to boost your stats i mean mostly combat based stats like strength intelligence physical resistance that sort of thing. Other stats like fertility virility and if things like it are added cum volume don't need to be any harder to obtain.

I'm going to add random trap enemies very soon. Probably not for the preview build, but the full version of 0.1.75 should have them in.

At about the same time, I'll be adding the ability to use TF potions on these random NPCs!

Also, that's a good point about how easy it is to boost stats at the moment. I'm planning on making those "elements" into unlockable ingredients, so I'll be able to fine-tune the rarity and game balance from there! (While being very careful not to create too much of a grind.)

Here comes another one. As always, awesome work! And again, PLEASE do not think I’m just an asshat grammar Nazi ><. This will be in 2 parts as it is quite long. And the main thing here is Brax’s scenes need a looking at:

Part 1 Brax+

After selecting Doggy style in the sex scene with Brax, the “Stop doggy” button is not colored in. Small typo: Steady fuck scene - “…he floor of his ofice.” “…and out of Brax's ass ass you…”; Clit sucking scene – “moan.You tell…” missing a space; In Cowgirl: Facesit ass – “let out a seris of lewd”; “Penetrate pussy” scene – “the radily widening” should be “readily”?; When orgasming while riding Brax – “satisfaction as as you” remove one.After selecting cunnilingus/anilingus, I get “Your wet cunt lewdly spreads around Brax's huge dog-dick as he fucks you.” And various other descriptions indicating him fucking me. Unless his tongue is also a dick? Lol It seems the game thinks I selected Cowgirl instead. Also, anilingus only has Passive as an option. “Stop penetration” button is available in Cowgirl for options that don’t involve penetration. No penetration options are initially available until choosing any of the two facesit options and stopping penetration after. When Brax climaxes while in Cowgirl facesit ass, I get a description of him climaxing in the PC ass and also get Anal creampie. I did not get vaginal Creampie even though Brax came inside, no condom. “Stop penetration” and both facesit option buttons are not colored to indicate action.

Some more NPC initiative may be needed. And it seems that Succubus keeps being the problem child. In the 69 position she either fingers her nipples or strokes her dick. To expand on the other NPCs, them requesting a position would not be a bad idea. Also, in 69 I am still able to eat the NPC out even though they are busy fingering themselves. NPCs in 69 never take any initiative to either eat the PC out or give BJ, regardless of how long one waits.

“Dirty clothing” so far only apply to panties when you had a creampie. It does say the clothes can get dirty from other sources, such as milk. I guess being able to produce milk doesn’t mean one is leaking. Will there be lactation? Otherwise the game would need to check if the PC can produce milk and apply this effect for it as well.

Just a small nitpick, but it may be better for the tooltip for Pix’s reward to read one-on-one rather than one-to-one. Also another one regarding clothing names, but this one actually makes sense. For the light colored clothing such as light pink/blue etc, it would be better to add a hyphen so they are light-pink/-blue etc. Otherwise you are saying the clothing just doesn’t weigh much.

Various clothing description improvements - Elbow-length gloves: Removing “they’re” would sound better; Anklet: Better for it to read “consisting of” rather than “it consists of”; Feminine watch: Perhaps removal of “the” in “the time” would make it sound better to the reader; regular Gloves: Again perhaps better to remove “they’re”; Safety Goggles: Perhaps better phrased “, a type worn by…” instead of this part being a solo sentence;

Something I’ve noticed in Kate’s shop: You have a button to change eye color and inside the “skin/fur colour” button you also have the option to change eye color. There must have been an idea behind this. Otherwise better to remove it from the skin button menu lol.

To expand on the Pregnancy status menu from my last huge post, it seems the menu is only clickable once the PC has given birth. It shouldn’t matter hence reporting as a bug. Related to this, it seems if the PC has conceived from someone from a previous version they will be listed as unknown. And perhaps a better way to differentiate between the genders of PC’s children other than color alone at the bottom. I know it’s clearly stated on top but still seems a bit odd.

On a related note for pregnancy, I know it states that only children that the PC has bared are stored, but perhaps, for the sake of immersion and depth, if the PC had impregnated a named NPC, said NPC could mention something about their mutual children. Also, if the reason why the PC is pregnant is due to Lilaya perhaps a different reaction is warranted from her when pressing the “Pregnancy” button in her lab.

Combat description states that the NPC is angry at me for getting them pregnant, but the Pregnancy Risk timer is still going. Also, in the case of this NPC, they said to breed them so no reason for them to be angry if they got what they wanted lol.

I made a profile on here just to tell you that your game is amazing! I've been looking for something like, specifically with good trap content, and I really hope to see this game come to fruition. The level of detail in the sex scenes alone blew me away especially. Also, I haven't looked through your other posts, but do you plan to add adjustable difficulty levels? I like to lose a lot, for probably obvious reasons.
